Bromidotricarbonyl[2-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-5-p-tolyl-1,3, 4-oxadiazole-κN3]-rhenium(I) dichloromethane monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [ReBr(C14H11N 3O)(CO)3]·CH2Cl2, the coordination geometry of the ReI atom is a distorted ReC 3N2Br octahedron with the carbonyl C atoms in a fac arrangement. Within the 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4- oxadiazole ligand, the dihedral angles between the oxadiazole ring and the pyridine (py) and benzene (bz) rings are 1.7 (2) and 7.1 (2)°, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the py and bz rings is 5.5 (2) °. In the crystal, aromatic π-π stacking between the oxadiazole rings of adjacent molecules [centroid- centroid separation = 3.465 (3) Å ] is seen.
